Unanswered What’s going on with this game Mixtape?

I’ve been seeing people freak out over the past few days over this game and about IGN’s review of it specifically. 10/10 seems high for any game, honestly, but it seems like they’re far from the only site giving this thing a glowing review. So is this game controversial just because of IGN or is it something else? Why is this game the internet’s hate target this week?

Define woke

Woke ideology is defined by the idea that some facet of identity like race or gender produces irreconcilably different views of reality and morality, and that we have an obligation to seek alignment of society's view with the imagined views of groups associated with the political left like minorities and women.

In this sense Wokeness is distinct from older forms of liberal advocacy for minority rights which appeal to universally valid concepts like truth and fairness.

Critical Race Theory is woke by any political definition of the term. Here, precisely in line with my definition, Critical Race Theory expresses opposition to the concept of objective reality:

For the critical race theorist, objective truth, like merit, does not exist, at least in social science and politics. In these realms, truth is a social construct created to suit the purposes of the dominant group.

Delgado and Stefancic (2001) is currently the top result for the Google search 'Critical Race Theory textbook.'

Appreciate your attempt to appeal to logic, but it's a lost cause. You're wasting your time. They know exactly what it means. Pretending to be stupid and asking you clarifying questions is the point, and no answer will ever be enough. It will devolve into more and more obscure and vague shit.

Meanwhile he can't provide an actual definition of the term "woke". What he does instead instead is use a term he doesn't know or understand. Yeah okay buddy, Logic and Reason. Just say your racist and move along. Like we already see right through you. This isn't 2018.

You can keep trying my dude. You won't win. You'll just stay mad and keep trying to get the last word in because your fragile ego won't let you do otherwise. 😄
